"This insightful book makes the concept of sustainability practical and manageable for organizations. Sustainability calls for a change in leadership style. Leaders must make an impact not by command and control but by asking powerful questions that lead to responsible action. Leading with powerful questions also ensures that the talent of employees is fully leveraged. What I like particularly about the book is that it covers the entire spectrum of key organizational processes: strategy formulation, strategy implementation, people and process management, and culture building. For each topic, useful tools and frameworks are provided to make the concepts actionable. A very useful book that will be valuable to both students and practitioners of management."

"This book shows in great detail how questioning is at the root of leading and managing. By analyzing different types of questions in relation to strategy, group management, and culture, the authors show how important it is to ask the right question in moving things forward."
